What is Waffle?

Waffle is a shared journaling app for iPhone and Android. A journal is opened to a partner, family members, friends or a therapist with an invite code, and each member writes entries and answers a daily question that the others can read. Unlimited journals, members and entries are free. Waffle Plus adds photos, video, voice notes, comments, search and PDF export, and one member's subscription upgrades the whole journal.

Waffle has a free plan. Paid plans start at $14.99 per month, or $9.99 per week (US App Store in-app purchases). See every plan

Good for

  • Couples, including long-distance ones, who want a shared daily check-in
  • Families and friend groups who like answering a question together
  • Therapy clients sharing day-to-day notes with a therapist between sessions

Worth knowing

  • Phone only: the FAQ says laptops are not supported, and the App Store listing is for iPhone.
  • The free plan has no photos, video, voice notes, comments, read receipts, search or PDF export.
  • A journal's creator cannot remove a member; the FAQ says members have to leave on their own.
  • Plus prices are not on the website. The App Store lists ten purchases, and only the weekly and monthly ones name a billing period.

Key features

Shared journals
A journal is shared through an invite code, and every member writes entries the others can read. There is no limit on journals or members, and a journal can also be kept solo.
Daily Waffle questions
Each journal gets a daily question from decks matched to its preset, such as Partner, Family members or Friends. Basic decks are free and personalized decks need Plus.
Waffle AI prompts
Waffle AI uses a journal's relationship type and its entries to suggest more personal prompts. An 'AI Questions Only' mode is part of Plus.
Photos, video and voice notes
Entries can carry photos, a video or a recorded voice note. All three attachment types are locked on the free plan and included in Waffle Plus.
Comments and read receipts
Plus journals let members comment on each other's entries and see who has read an entry. Neither is available on the free plan.
